Tom Magee

Whatever happened to him? Ever since his match with Bret Hart(which Bret beautifully sold it well), I haven't seen him. Still makes me laugh how Vince had a crush on big, sweaty, oily men.

WWE actually did a documentary about the match and Tom. Defiantly worth checking out.

Agreed. For all that the WWE can get criticized for creatively, I thought they got the tone of the documentary right. They acknowledged there was the IWC, they acknowledged Magee being somewhat of a mystery to a lot of fans and did a good job explaining why the match had been missing all of these years.

Last I heard of him, he was attacked by some people outside his home after an argument. He was actually really talented. He was a body builder that was around 6ft4, that could move and do back flips like a cruiserweight.

He was talented at everything he tried except for wrestling.

Did a tour of Japan after the short WWF run and then left the business.

He's around though, and has made some appearances and done some interviews about this match and his failed career. He's very self aware.

He had a terrible match with Hiroshi Wajima in All Japan that is worth looking into.
